Bolden

Anyone excited about this movie coming out in May?

Marsalis... this could open Pandora’s box!

I saw a trailer of some sort on You Tube and the only thing I could think of was, oh, this shit again. I thought he had retired or otherwise gone away. Not Bolden, the other guy.

OTOH, Walt Bolden, is there a movie there?

A good reason to read Michael Ondaatje's great novel.

Yes, And Donald M. Marquis' book:

One gives us the legend, the other the facts (as far as they're known).

True that! But if anybody can play in that kind of style for a movie, I think it's probably Wynton.

Too bad Lester Bowie's not around...

Or Don Cherry.

You could try David Fulmer the Valentine St. Cyr mysteries set in Storyville.

They could even use recordings by some of the older N.O. musicians and have music that was close to what Buddy Bolden's music might have sounded like. But Wynton? That's a disgrace.

If memory serves there is a segment in Ken Burns' Jazz wherein Wynton sings some well-known march in the style of Buddy Bolden-it sounded so much more like Roy Eldridge to me.
